Broken Promises of Transparency Show President Obama & Congressional Allies Do Not Want Americans to Know Details About Healthcare Legislation
“The right of freely examining public characters and measures, and of communication among the people thereon . . . has ever been justly deemed the only effectual guardian of every
other right.”
--James Madison
RE: President Obama has broken a campaign promise he made multiple times that healthcare negotiations be public and broadcast on C-SPAN. The president's broken promise indicates a lack of transparency in his administration and sends a clear signal that he is hiding details of the bill from the American people.
ACTION: We urge you to contact your Senators, Congressmen, and your local broadcasters and newspapers, seeking support for real transparency for one of the most controversial and unpopular pieces of legislation in many years. If the President were really looking out for America’s best interest, he would not be so secretive about it and would not shut the press out of these negotiations.
